1st		Dalebourne Kore	Banks	Bitch who is rising 3 yrs old. Presented a good picture. More bone and substance than 2nd, appealed in head. Good forehand, straight legs, good oval bone and good feet. Correct topline, well muscled long thighs moved well enough although a little close behind today.
2nd		Lucoru Perpetual Spring	Coldwell	On initial look I thought she’d win the class. Lighter in bone than 1st. Lovely head and gentle expression, large nose, good muzzle, good neck. Well laid shoulders, sprung ribs, moderate tuck, balanced angulation fore and aft, slightly flat feet. Hard to assess as unsettled on the move which cost her.

1st		Lucoru Blown Over	Culling	This was a very close call. Liked this lad a lot but have to admit he was initially not my winner. Lovely shape and size balanced all through. Good head, correct neck with strength and muscle. Well laid shoulders with width to blades, well angulated forehand, but when initially stacked not so well angulated behind. Correct body proportions and moved out well with drive. When handler turned him and stacked him the other way, his hind angulation was better and gave the balance I was looking for, and this and his steadiness today were the deciding factors. BOB.
2nd		Sh Ch Inostricani Fianna (ShCEX)	James	This is a bitch who I have admired since she first came out, I have long wished for the chance to go over her and was absolutely delighted to see her here today. She is every bit the champion, everything in tip top condition and beautifully presented. She moved out beautifully as her obviously correct construction would demand and displayed all the typical attributes of her breed. However something made her decide today she was not for standing and despite her handlers valiant attempts she was not for co-operating and had to settle for RBOB.
